Fantasy Football Tips: Forwards For Round 30 Of The Irish Times Fantasy Premier League

Thursday, March 14th, 2013 at 9:32 am by Phil Mc Grath

This weekend’s fantasy action is actually one that could cause fantasy managers more problems that they might have anticipated given last week’s limited selections.

Although round 30 throws up a full fixture list to choose from, it is not without it’s difficulties as there are actually a number of strikers who could conceivably produce the points this weekend and here in lies the problem, just who do you back?

Well in a week that has been dominated by talk of horse racing and “sure things” our coaches have once again gone through the fixtures and the form and come up with three strikers that all should be on the mark come match day.

While the three listed below will be far from differentials, they are safe and should produce decent returns and having listed a number of differentials in our midfielders tips yesterday it probably best to leave the differentials come from there this weekend.

So with that said, let’s take a look at just our coaches have tipped for big points returns this weekend.

Christian Benteke (Aston Villa) £5.5 million Fixture: QPR (Home)

Having beaten Reading last time out 2-1 Christian Benteke was once again on hand to find a goal to help Paul Lamberts side to those much needed three points and the Villa manager will be hoping for more of the same from the Belgian international when the R’s come t town this weekend.

Luis Suarez (Liverpool) £7.1 million Fixture: Fulham (Home)

With five goals and three assists in those last five games Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is playing like a man possessed as he goes in search of the golden boot that at one point looked to only have one home, Robin van Persie’s home.

And when it comes to bringing in the points there aren’t many better than Manchester United’s Robin van Persie, the former Arsenal man has 19 goals and 12 assists to his credit this season, meaning he has played a part in almost 50% of United’s goals this season.
